CPR Training and Certifications
The American Heart Association defines CPR as an emergency lifesaving procedure performed when the heart stops beating. When CPR is done promptly, it can double or triple a victim's odds of survival following a cardiac arrest.
Cardiac arrest is the sudden loss of heart function in a person who may or may not have been diagnosed with heart disease. It can appear unexpectedly or as a result of other symptoms. Cardiac arrest is often fatal if immediate CPR is not performed.
CPR helps keep blood flowing to essential organs and extends the opportunity for a successful resuscitation once professional medical responders arrive on site.
More than 356,000 cardiac arrests occur annually outside a hospital in the U.S.
The American Heart Association believes that to decrease the number of fatalities, more people should be CPR trained to respond to cardiac emergencies.
Depending on one's goals and expectations, there are different CPR courses and certifications available, as well as how training is conducted.
